Web Interface at this point. However, this is not necessary for this upgrade
because there is no previous software version in the alternate partition.
Copying Files to the S8300 hard drive
During reformatting of the hard drive, a new directory, /var/home/ftp/pub, was created. For
release 2.0 and later, this pub directory will be used in place of the /var/home/ftp directory that
was used in previous releases.
You must copy the remaining required files to the pub directory on the S8300 hard drive. This
includes, but is not limited to:
Post-upgrade software update (patch)
License file
Avaya authentication file
New firmware files
